I live for coincidences. They briefly give to me the illusion or the hope that there’s a pattern to my life, and if there’s a pattern, then maybe I’m moving toward some kind of destiny where it’s all explained.

Jonathan Ames

Happy 53rd birthday, Jonathan Ames! The writer first found fame with his funny yet depressing columns for New York Press; he has gone on to write novels and created the HBO series Bored to Death.

I am a full time writer and mother of 2. My main concentrations are in the Arthurian legends, historical fiction and nonfiction, and poetry. I have articles published in Arthuriana which is an academic journal pertaining to King Arthur. I am a member in good standing of the International Arthurian Society, The Round Table, North American Chapter and am an Associate Member of The Knights Templar International. I have an Arthurian blog @ArthurianRomances.com, there I post my articles and articles of other Arthurian scholars. I also post beautiful pics that I love that are well within the genre. In addition to my book, "The Infinite Character of King Arthur: His History and Legend, His Camelot and Avalon", there will be a historical fiction series due out soon! I also have a website dedicated to Henry VIII at TudorTime.org. I hope you enjoy both! My love of words sprung from both writing poetry and reading Old English and Welsh texts (As well as the hated purple prose, which I happen to adore!) I welcome any comments or ideas you may have. Please feel free to drop by my Facebook pages Arthurian Romances and Tudor Time too!
